(August 14, 2017) – The Volvo Ocean Race fleet restarted today from the south coast of Brittany, intent to complete the four race Leg Zero qualifying series in advance of the October 22 start of the 20178-18 edition. The final 770 nm race from St Malo, France to Lisbon, Portugal had been divided into two parts due to a light wind forecast. Following a 25 nm sprint yesterday, the fleet started today in the same order they finished, which returned MAPFRE and Vestas 11th Hour Racing to the lead.
